My late mum would come home from work and would say that she met Maggie today. She would always stop and chat to her. Really made her day. Hugely respected within the MOD. I can’t say that for the ones after.

I will give her that she was head and shoulders above what we have today. She believed in what she promoted, even if she was an awful ****.

Thank **** for these newspapers for once daring to step on Johnsons toes. Its great that the pics enable people to make their own judgements and then even act upon them like with the North Shropshire by election.

So good parties were thrown in the streets celebrating her death. Now i dont personally agree with doing that but many did.

I was there when her hearse went by and some people turned their backs. Many weren’t even born when she was in power. Stupid really.
My pet hate was Tony Benn, I could never agree with him. I then heard him on radio discussing his life and politics. I was sad when he died and I will read his book at some time. I don’t take it personally… even Jezza!

Where’s that from and who wrote it Strolls?

Have to say I don’t think this departure is especially important or damaging, just mildly amusing. As is obvious to everyone the demands on NI were a logical impossibility, that only the deluded would have pursued in the first place.

Simon Hoare, the Tory chair of the NI Select Committee, was on the radio yesterday. He said his committee had heard evidence from all sections of the NI community and business pretty continuously. Apparently many businesses are beginning to see the benefits of having a foot in both the U.K. internal market and the EU Single Market. He said that no section of the NI community had ever mentioned the ECJ as an issue. He did concede that there was a small ultra unionist faction which might have objections ‘but they have objections about a lot of things’.

That about the benefits of being in both markets in NI says it all. Those same benefits for business in NI, plus the benefits for most people, would clearly also apply to the whole UK, plus us Brits living outside the UK.
 
His cabinet will reel Boris in now.
They can use this to make so unpopular that he has to go/ be unseated.

Not looking forward to the announcement at all

Do you mean if he goes too far in protecting public health?

The one thing I have learned from this pandemic is how f###ed some people are in our population. He will never do the right thing in some peoples eyes.
Boris is damned with whatever he does. If he locks down or not you will get the same people moaning.
As for your public health quote…. I will just say if we lock down to protect the public, don’t come back on hear in 6 months moaning about economic problems or other things caused by a lock down.
